The mind-blowing cost of food at Formula 1<\/a> events in the USA has again been thrown into the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Last year the exorbitant food prices at the Miami Grand Prix made headlines when an influencer shared the menu (that included $270 nachos) of the Hard Rock\u2019s Beach Club Deck.<\/p>\n

Now, this weekend\u2019s Las Vegas Grand Prix also has racing fans doing a double-take at the cost of food.<\/p>\n

New Zealand IndyCar driver Scott McLaughlin was certainly one observer who was in disbelief when he saw how much a meat pie cost at the international food stores for the glamour event.<\/p>\n

\u201c24 bucks for an Aussie meat pie which is 37 bucks (in) Aussie dollars,\u201d McLaughlin blasted on social media.<\/p>\n

And racing fans were also in disbelief as the \u201ctell \u2018em they\u2019re dreaming\u2019\u201d memes and comments flowed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost enough to go vegetarian,\u201d one fan blasted.<\/p>\n

And another said: \u201c$42 NZD, better be the diameter of an F1 tyre for that price.\u201d<\/p>\n

And another: \u201cSomeone is making a fortune.\u201d<\/p>\n

And another: \u201cThat won\u2019t pass the pub test.\u201d<\/p>\n

And another: \u201cThat doesn\u2019t sound very Australian.\u201d<\/p>\n

And another: \u201cSounds like the Mafia is still running Vegas That is absolutely criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The $24 for fish and chips (which equates to over $37 in AUD) also caught people\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

\u201c24 for \u2018fish and chips\u2019 … and it\u2019s probably stale chips on a styrophone plate with a crusty fish you can\u2019t cut into properly because the fork is also styrophone,\u201d one fan remarked.<\/p>\n

And another: \u201cAnd $24 for fish and chips also? \ud83d\ude35\u200d\ud83d\udcab\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year beauty influencer Brigette Pheloung went viral when she was the Miami Grand Prix and called the Hard Rock menu \u201cthe most expensive items I think I have ever seen in my life\u201d.<\/p>\n

Her review of the $270 nachos was viewed more than 2.5 million times.<\/p>\n
